i have been at the aclu for more than 25 years. the family separation issue is the closest i've seen to having a real civil rights moment. obviously it doesn't rise to the level of what we saw in the '60s but it was a real civil rights movement with people taking to the streets, protests. there were op-eds. and it was not partisan. laura bush came out and wrote an op-ed in the "washington post" pushing back, the pope, conservative reverends. the administration finally issued an executive order. it was filled with holes and that's why the court cases still needed to go on, but the president did issue an executive order saying no more family separation. as far as i know, that's the only time the president has ever backed off on a domestic issue. it was because of the public outcry. i think any civil rights haur will tell you that there's only so much structural lasting civil rights change you can see through the courts. it has to be public outcry. the public showed that it did care, that it still will speak out. that's the challenge

the aclu described him as a satirical first amendment president, all right.hey -- on the campaign, they had three newspapers for obama and 2008 that did not endorse barack obama for president but endorsed john mccain for president. all three of those reporters, those three newspapers were kicked off of barack obama's campaign plan. that was in 2008. that was just sort of getting the ball rolling. during the course of the eight years, they squeezed out fox news. anita dunn was the communications director for obama. refuse to allow docs to participate in very important conference calls having to do with ben benghazi, ci briefings having to do with benghazi. they know where their bread is buttered. they are lackeys for the obama administration. fox news didn't sing from the sheet music, so they were targeted by the obama administration. they also spied on the associated press because there was a leak that they were not happy with. so, phones used by at least 100 reporters with the associated press were taps. the records were -- they look into the conversations.

soil. >> first i think the aclu will notice in that comment doesn't address the question of bail.ail is not involved with the due process issue. what you mentioned is right. lot of people hitting the border is seeking asylum. that's different than the regular migrants who want to come and get green cards and stay as citizens. asylum seekers have what they call a well founded fear of persecution back in their home countries. the problem for all these people coming from central america, they're fleeing for economic reasons. they're not fleeing because the government is persecuting them. >> dana: they might say there's law and order problems, it's not just economic for them. >> that's right, dana. that's why they're losing their asylum hearings. statistics show very low numbers of people from central america are getting asylum because our courts usually don't recognize private violence as government persecution. those asylum laws have more something in mind like cuba or a repressive government chasing minorities who flee to the united states. central american migrants don't fit in th

as you know, your telephone and your computer contains your digital life. >> the aclu says the incident raises constitutional questions about unreasonable search and seizure. a customs spokesperson refused to comment on this specific case, did say, in general, keeping america safe depends on being able to examine any material entering the u.s., agents eventually let him leave but did revoke his global entry card. >>> it is 6:08, new this morning, jack rose libation house closed. new video confirming the well known cocktail bar and restaurant is shut down. it opened up four years ago next to saratoga. the property located in unincorporated santa clara county, it was annexed back in 2018. you may recall before that, it was la hacienda restaurant. the community recently approved 36 single family homes in a hillside preserve at that location. it's a freight florist right there on the corner, a beautiful bo kay. >> you zoo said the booze was really good. >> drink's not bad. >> 6:09. so many of us remember the first time we were on an airplane. we know it can be scary for anyone. it can prove

the aclu recently reported that i.c.e. is accessing information about manage cities across the country to track the deportation of immigrant communities. in fact, many of our own city departments, including the m.t.a., the t.d., and our airport, own license plate readers and use them for a number of absolutely benign purposes. the s.f. m.t.a. uses them to get people out of bike lanes and to issue tickets. but as policy-makers, i think we have a fundamental duty to safeguard the public from potential abuses of these rapidly evolving technologies. and i want to be clear that this is not an anti-tech policy. there are many beneficial uses of technology, including what is before us today, that we want to make sure is used in the proper way. license plate readers are used to enforce our red light camera laws, and the r.d. helps track the movement of the materials throughout the library, including easier and faster discharging of books. and as many neighbors has reminded us via e-mail over the last few days, security cameras can

the aclu says this is basically kidnapping.ey are out here documenting the border crisis. the issue with that claim is they are wearing full military gear. they are wearing tactical armor. they have full military weapons. they have long rifles, night vision goggles. >> they are not the only group operating along the borders. there's other similar such groups. >> reporter: there are. there are about a dozen. 150 to 200 individuals. their relationship with customs and border protection is interesting. let's show you what they said about this group. they said we do not endorse or condone private groups or organizations that take enforcement matters into their own hands. that is their public view. that's what they say in public. in private, the relationship with some of these malitias, not the one here, but some of these especially eastern texas is much more conducive relationship to working together. what happens is they will spot groups of migrants as they come across the boarder and call in the equivalent of a cdp tip line. thos

aclu officials are furious about it. they say that time line is unacceptable. finding these families must be done urgently. listen to what the deputy director of the aclu told me a short time ago. >> we intend to push back very hard on this proposed plan and go to the court and say this has to be rejected, there has to be a new plan and we need to do this immediately. we cannot leave these 2, 3-year-old, 4-year-old children without their parents for another two years. they have already been separated eight months, at least. this is shocking the government is saying maybe they could be separated another two years because we are not going put sufficient resources on to find the families. >> joining us now, democratic congressman raul, he represents the largest stretch of the u.s.-mexico border in arizona. this is where we find ourselves, the one-year anniversary of the president's zero tolerance policy is upon us. are you surprised to learn there could be thousands of separated families we didn't know about? >> unfortunately, not surprised at all. the incompetenc

we understand the aclu and other immigration groups are preparing the lawsuits already. this is something that started under attorney general sessions. he want he wanted to review this policy and it was barr that put this final decision on it yesterday. put in place by sessions and barr sealed the deal. we'll see what happens as this goes to court. >> they know voters may not like the president's conduct or new information that come to light. they saw the mueller investigation was happening in the 2018 election and was not a political help to the republican party as they lost the house of representatives. they need a foil. they are looking for the democrats to provide that to them heading into 2020. that's why speaker pelosi has to be someone we're paying attention. she's been very savvy so far. she's going to have a lot of pressure to move forward with impeachment or a harder line. >> jeff, we know the president is heading to his resort for easter weekend. then he is pretty much down for the weekend. is that the expectation? >> reporter: that is the expectation. you nef
